working on optimizing my trailer set up. i got some plumbing and put it all together w/o pvc cement to make sujre it fit right. now the unglued pipes and fittings/adapters are stuck together...how do i pull them apart. no luck w 2 strap wrenches yet
whoops
i was plumbing my water tank and accidentally drilled a 2in hole for the 2 in bulkhead (found out it requires a 3 in lol).

what should i do?
